Vasanta Extra Anejo Tequila
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Aged 3+ years | Extra añejo | 100% Blue Weber agave | American white oak — Vasanta Extra Anejo is the flagship of the Vasanta line: 100% Blue Weber agave, double distilled at NOM 1466 in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco, then rested for three or more years in American white oak. At 80 proof it's a proper sipper — no harsh edges, all polish. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Extra añejo is where tequila starts drinking like fine cognac, and Vasanta's long oak rest delivers: deep caramel and dried fig on the nose with cooked agave still present underneath; a palate of butterscotch, toasted hazelnut, cinnamon, and vanilla bean; a long, warming finish of dark chocolate and oak spice. Among aged añejo tequilas, this is the bottle for the whiskey drinker who thinks tequila is all blanco.
